Fr. 1176 $20 1882
Grade: PMG Ch. Very Fine 35    

---

Design 148. This note has the small brown scalloped seal and James Garfield's portrait at the right. The signatures of Bruce-Wyman are there but the countersignatures were no longer used. The gold overprint and back are basically unchanged. This example is absolutely high-end. It was offered by me in 2002, graded Ch. AU, and today I'm amazed by its current grade of VF 35 by PMG. This note has a centerfold, a corner fold and some bends, but the paper is unmolested, the centering is wonderful, as are the black, brown and gold colors. In 2006 I sold a '40' for $50,600 and in 2009 a PMG 40 was a giveaway at $7,475. This is a tough note for many reasons and will be a great addition to any collection. It ranks in the top 4 graded of the 24 notes currently known.
